Association between pulp stone and Mediterranean diet: a clinical and radiographic study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe present study aims to investigate the potential association between pulp stone and the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet). METHODOLOGY: Systemically healthy patients aged 18 years and older participated in the study. The patients were classified into two groups as the study group and control group according to the presence or absence of pulp stone. All patients were asked the 14-questions of Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale (MEDAS). The MEDAS score and adherence (low, medium, and high) to the MedDiet of the patients were determined. Data from these groups were recorded, and a statistical analysis was performed.
resultsA total of 212 participants (study group = 105; control group = 107) were included. In the study group, the number females (n = 94, 89.5%) was more significant than the number of males (n = 11, 10.4%). The teeth with pulp stone were mostly the maxillary first molars (9.0%). The MEDAS score and adherence to the MedDiet showed a statistically significant difference between the groups. The MEDAS score and adherence to the MedDiet of the study group were higher than the control group.
conclusionBased on the findings presented in this study, it can be said that there is an association between the pulp stone and the MedDiet and that the MedDiet nutrition increases the pulp stone.
